+Subject: [PATCH] Don't prematurely abort URL validity check during semi-large
+ redirects
+
+During some redirects we were already downloading enough data to warrant
+aborting the download, leaving us with 302 as the last status code,
+failing the reachable-URL test.
+
+With this change, we will only start to count downloadable bytes once we
+left the redirects, so we will only count downloaded data at our final
+destination.
+
+Resolves: #597
